During the four years that you are in high school, almost everyone will come in contact with extremely joyful and great experiences as well as a few confusing and lousy ones. I, of course, encountered both. One experience in particular that has had a lasting effect on me is my participation as both a competitive cheerleader and sideline football cheerleader during the first three years of high school. To give some backstory, I was a competitive gymnast for seven years. Once I got to high school,
Music is a universal language as it is accepted by the whole world even though some of us might not understand the physical language of the music that they are listening to. There are a variety of music genres for people to choose ranging from pop, rock, bop, techno, swing, rhythm and blues, hip hop, folk music, and many others including my personal favourite, jazz. Being the only daughter in the family with more male cousins than females had made my music preference a little bit different from
As the only other person except for my mother who works in our family, I have to support her. Everything I earn goes towards rent payments each month. If there are any leftovers, I try to cover my personal expenses, such as club dues. As a fan of debate and public speaking, I decided to join Mock Trial at the beginning of my junior year. At the time, I did not know, that Mock Trial was going to change my high school career. During my first year as a trial attorney, I not only improved immensely
Our Scott City high school baseball team hasn 't been good my whole high school career. We have lost more games in the last four years than any team I know of. My freshman year we only won one baseball game, sophomore year only won one game, junior year we won three games and this year we have won 3 games out of five that 's better than I thought we would do. I think a big part why we lose is because the coaches and the players who don 't try. My freshman and sophomore year we had coach Baker and

People only judge on what they see on the outside. If they can’t see your illness, to them it doesn’t exist. You sit in silence as you hear the whispers and you see the odd looks, but you smile and go with life anyway. I was thirteen when the biggest battle of my life began, pain. In August, 2012, I was going on with life as usual. Not knowing a hit on the head will change my life for the next few years. Looking back at the time when my concussion was at its worse, I don’t remember much. I was
Dietetics: The Story of Medicine’s Forgotten Sister I come from an African home where three career choices are presented at a tender age: lawyer, doctor and engineer. When I told my family I was coming to college to study Nutrition & Dietetics, my mother immediately expressed worry due to the relatively low income compared to the cost of education and the lack of jobs. My aunt also told me, “Abena, stop following nutrition and concentrate on medicine.” Although my family did not want to hear why

I remember blankly staring at the field hockey field retracing my past year. I did not understand how I could be on the junior varsity team for a third year after receiving the most valuable player award the previous season. I thought it was supposed to improve from there, but I was mistaken. I knew beforehand that those three days of tryouts could define my entire season, but in my mind it was not an option to be on junior varsity again. The summer before tryouts my junior year, I did absolutely
When it comes to sports my family has many ties to Middletown High School South. In the Going as far back as the 1980’s when my Dad attended the same high school.

I am the youngest of three children with two older sisters coming through high school before me. Both of my sisters were outstanding runners for Middletown
There are many different types of different hobbies and sports for people to choose from. Because I am an active competitive athlete in track and field, I find the sport extremely enjoyable to participate in, and just as exciting to watch. Learning how to become a successful, hard working athlete takes time and patience. More specifically, being a pole vaulter, the training and technique needed to be successful in this particular event is crucial. If interested in the sport of pole vaulting, it

to form our mark in the world we live. This desire is displayed in our dreams, our child-like dreams of changing the world and I am no different. When I was little, people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up. For six years my response never changed, with my chest puffed out, I would boldly state, “I’m going to be the first black president of the United States!” Then on November 4th, 2008 Barrack Obama stole my dream and was elected the 44th president. It would be a year later that I would
Big or small, long or short, scares can tell a story about the times in someone’s life that has challenged them to become a better person.

The word “dream” can refer to what we experience when we sleep, it can refer to an ideal, and it can also refer to goals and aspirations. I shall look at the word “dream” as having the same meaning as the latter. A dream in this instance is defined as something that is aspired for and sought after. It shares a similar definition with the words: “goal,” “ambition,” “aspiration,” “desire,” “hope,” and “wish.” I notice that it is synonymous with words that could be thought of as small and minor, and
about dreams, interpretating them and questioning their purpose. Dreams occur every night, whether we remember them or not and we still question their true meaning – “it was just a dream”. Writers, poets and artists use daydreams and dreams as a way of expressing themselves, releasing their repressed feelings from their unconscious. This creativity allows psychoanalysis to work with their clients to understand the wish fulfilment and why they were repressed in the first instance. “In fact dreams are
INTRODUCTION “The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.” - Sigmund Freud In our civilization, there is little we have not explored, little we have not discovered and little we do not know.
